Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Spread the cubes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, without crowding.
5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges.
6. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—space ensures crisp edges, not soggy bites.
Try leaving the skin on for extra texture and nutrients—just scrub the potatoes well.
These reheat best in an oven or air fryer to bring back their crispiness.
